This book was OK but not great
Rating  (3)
Date: 2007-11-07
Adam Robinson, author of Rocket Review, is on the board of the Princeton Review which published this book. As a result it is not surprising that this book includes information similar to what is found in Robinson's book Rocket Review although in less depth. There are, however, exercises not included in Rocket Review that are potentially useful on pages 315 and 320 all of which focus on different skills needed to generate and organize ideas. The sample essay prompts included follow the SAT I guidelines to the T.

Gave to my son

I do not think it would be fair of me to review this as my son didn't even bother to use it.

Pretty Good, but not the best one out there
Rating  (4)
Date: 2006-06-07
I have two main SAT test prep books (and some SAT practice test books and a couple books that focus on particular aspects of the SAT) and this is one of them(along with "The New SAT and PSAT by Sparknotes).
This book was good but not spectacular.
PRO'S
- It gives some good strategies for cracking the sections
- Has outstanding techiques for guessing; more advanced and sophiscated techiniques than anywhere else- this alone makes the book worth the price
- Has explainations for practice tests(though others have said the practice tests are not very accurate to the real ones; I can't be the judge of that so read other reviews)
Cons
- Wide Margins - Unless they expect you to write two paragraphs of notes on every page these margins are too big- Maybe their trying to fluff up the thickness of the book
- I found an error in their drills- nothing major but could've been caught by an editor
-Teaching method isn't as good as Sparknotes "The New SAT and PSAT" book
Overall
This has great guessing strategies but is only average in teaching. I recommend buying this book( makes sure its the 2006 edition or later as they may have fixed some mistakes)along with "The New SAT and PSAT" by Justin Kestler and Ben Florman(Sparknotes)
Also get some Sparknotes Powertactics books, Kaplan workbooks and the College Board SAt Study Guide.

Great Shortcut Techniques, Not Sufficient in Teaching Material
Rating (4)
Date: 2006-03-05
3 out of 3 customers found this reveiw helpful
This book is great in teaching you the SAT, (teaching how the creators of the SAT think) not teaching what you learn in school, because the SAT is not like school. It DOES go over all the things you will need to know, giving you handy techniques and tricks to use that save time.
However, in, for example, the Math section (where I had trouble), if you are not completely secure in your knowledge of each type of math they show, don't expect to learn anything. There are NO LESSONS. There may be a five-sentence paragraph on quadratic equations and that's as far as they go to refresh your memory.
So unless you know it all and just need a shortcut, I'd buy this book, but pick up some suppliments that delve more into the teaching material you don't know cold. That way you can familiarize yourself with the concepts first, and THEN learn the tricks this book teaches.
So I'd give this book a 5 as far as knowing the SAT, but a 4 since you will probably need additional material

Excellent SAT prep book
Rating (5)
Date: 2006-03-05
3 out of 4 customers found this reveiw helpful
For the record, I have never taken any SAT prep classes. One week before my test, I start cracking this book open. The strategies they teach you, though seemingly simple, are invaluble techniques that you can even use on other tests, because they show you the mind of "test-creators." The practice tests are slightly harder than the normal SAT, but by doing this, they prepare you well. The book is easy to read and understand. I haven't used the CD at all, but I have taken all 3 practice tests that are offered in this book. Though I did question some of the answers in the book, they were very few in number and I do not believe that it affected what I learned from this book. I think that it is important to get to know general ideas of the test: how the test works, what questions will be asked, what answer choices are traps, and knowing what kind of answer is the correct answer.
I scored a 1900 the first time; the second time I scored a 2050.
I recommend you get Princeton's Reviews 11 Practice Tests for the New SAT and PSAT if you want more preparation.
